Mr. Jenner.

Could you Spell it phonetically?

Mr. Taylor.

[Spelling] N-o-d-j-i-a (phonetic).

Mr. Jenner.

Is she married?

Mr. Taylor.

No; she's a minor.

Mr. Jenner.

She's still a minor?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Where does she live?

Mr. Taylor.

I believe in Philadelphia--but I can't be sure of that.

Mr. Jenner.

The impression is, at least, that she is living with her mother in Philadelphia?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Rather than with the De Mohrenschildts in Port-au-Prince, Haiti?

Mr. Taylor.

That's correct.

Mr. Jenner.

You are aware of the fact that George De Mohrenschildt and his present wife now, are at least presently, are residing in Port-au-Prince, Haiti?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.
(Off the record discussion follows.)

Mr. Jenner.

In order that the record be not too confused, I think it would be well that you finish recounting what led up to your meeting with Marina and Lee Harvey Oswald, and then I will go back when we finish that subject, and put the De Mohrenschildts in proper perspective.

Mr. Taylor.

All right.

Mr. Jenner.

We have been off the record in the meantime, haven't we, Mr. Taylor, during which time you recounted to me something about the De Mohrenschildts and the relation between your present wife and the De Mohrenschildts, and other matters in that connection.

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

We will bring that out later.
(At this point, Mr. Jenner asked your reporter to orient the witness by referring back to the point of interruption, when he started recounting how his meeting with the Oswalds came about.)
Your REPORTER. [Reading] "About a week before I met them, my wife was told of them by either her father or stepmother--Mr. and Mrs. George De Mohrenschildt."

Mr. Jenner.

Now, that's where I interrupted. Please go on from there.

Mr. Taylor.

They explained to us that----

Mr. Jenner.

When you say "they," you mean whom?

Mr. Taylor.

One or the other of the De Mohrenschildts.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Taylor.

Explained to my wife----

Mr. Jenner.

In your presence?

Mr. Taylor.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

This is something your wife told you?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Taylor.

That a Russian girl, Mrs. Oswald, was living in Fort Worth with her husband, and that they were going to be--the De Mohrenschildts were going to be in Fort Worth on Sunday afternoon attending a concert and that after the concert, they would like for us to join them, the De Mohrenschildts, and visit the Oswalds.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, when was this?

Mr. Taylor.

In early September of 1962.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Go on.

Mr. Taylor.

We----

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me. Had you ever heard of a Lee Oswald or of an American being back here with a Russian wife---or was this entirely new to you?

Mr. Taylor.

This was new to me. I was not aware of the presence of either one of them prior to this.

Mr. Jenner.

And, as far as you know, was it new to your wife?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And, from a conversation we had while we were off the record,
